What To Do When Your Friends Don't Believe In You with PRB CEO Sheila Bella and Esthetician of the Year Winner, Micahel Razzano

CEO Glow Show Hosted by Sheila Bella, Founder of Pretty Rich Bosses Featuring Michael Razzano What do you do when you finally decide to chase the life you really want… and the people closest to you don't believe you can do it? You keep going. In this episode of the CEO Glow Show, Sheila Bella sits down with award-winning esthetician Michael Razzano for an honest conversation about becoming the underdog, finding your purpose, perfecting your craft, and proving to yourself that your past does not have to predict your future. Before finding esthetics, Michael admits he struggled for years to figure out what he wanted to do. He was working in retail management, unhappy with where his life was headed, and had tried multiple paths that never seemed to stick. When he eventually made the leap into esthetics and moved to Philadelphia for a new opportunity, some of his own friends literally bet that he would only last six months before moving back home. Instead, Michael kept going. He took opportunities. He stayed consistent on Instagram. He focused on improving his client experience. He perfected his craft. And after four years of competing in the Skin Games, his commitment ultimately led to being recognized with a major award—an emotional accomplishment he was able to celebrate with his mother and best friend. The biggest message of this episode is for anyone who has ever felt underestimated. Your friends may remember the old version of you. They may remember the things you started and didn't finish. They may have doubts because of your past. That doesn't mean they get to decide your future. If there is something you genuinely want to pursue, Michael's message is simple: listen to constructive feedback from people who truly care about you—but don't allow someone else's lack of belief to become your reason for giving up. You don't need everyone to believe in you. You need to believe enough to keep going until they can see what you saw all along. 🔑 5 KEY POINTS FROM THIS EPISODE 1. Your past doesn't get to predict your future. Michael openly shares that before esthetics, he struggled to find a career that stuck. His previous track record caused people around him to doubt his next move—but this time, he committed to making it work. 2. Consistency can turn the underdog into the expert. Michael credits taking opportunities, staying consistent on Instagram, improving his client experience, and continuously perfecting his craft as major pieces of his growth. 3. Mastery requires more than taking classes, you need to stay in the game to learn from experience. Through four years of competing in the Skin Games, Michael had to apply his education, understand ingredients, create treatment plans, write case studies, and prove his knowledge—not simply consume more information. 4. The beauty industry needs less shaming and more constructive education. Michael and Sheila discuss the negativity they see online. Professionals can absolutely speak up about safety, poor practices, and important industry issues—but there's a difference between educating and publicly shaming someone simply because they do things differently. 5. You don't need your friends' permission to pursue your calling. Good friends can give honest feedback when they believe something could hurt you. But when you know you genuinely want a new career or opportunity, someone else's doubt doesn't have to determine what you do next. 💖 Want to experience the magic of this community in person?
